The purple...Wow that is unbelievable, super stoked. The purple Graham Nile Swallowtail was my board, purchased off a lifeguard at Polzeath by my Dad for me back in 1977/78. I learnt to surf on it when I was 12. The board stayed with me until circa 1990 when a colleague at work purchased it off me for use at his holiday home down in Newquay. Most memorable surf trip was a 4 week surfari back in August 1986 to Biarritz, when Hurricane Charley tracked across the north atlantic and made land fall as an ex trop storm on the south coast. The swell pumping into the Bay of Biscay was epic for several days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7620952922253468884.post-69994869033605570382015-09-23T22:28:43.255+01:002015-09-23T22:28:43.255+01:00Graham Nile still surfs today and just so happens ...Graham Nile still surfs today and just so happens to be my grandad!Mnilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10848737827127597393noreply@blogger.com
